DAVE THE DIVER: Daily dive route
Every day connects two businesses: the dive produces ingredients and quest progress, while the restaurant turns selected ingredients into money and upgrades. A good route starts by checking what the restaurant needs, then enters the water with one primary target and a return rule.
Review menu demand and quests before diving, choose one ingredient or upgrade target, collect high-value items within oxygen and weight limits, return before the haul becomes risky, then build a short profitable menu the staff can serve well.
The route
- 1
Check active quests, restaurant stock, and tonight's likely menu before choosing the dive target.
- 2
Select one primary ingredient, fish, material, or story objective and one optional target.
- 3
Plan depth and equipment around the target instead of descending as far as possible every time.
- 4
Watch oxygen, carrying weight, and escape distance; value is only real after a safe return.
- 5
Upgrade equipment that expands the next several dives, not just one unusual encounter.
- 6
At the restaurant, keep the menu focused enough that ingredients, preparation, and staff can support it.
What matters most
Demand-led diving
Restaurant needs give the dive a financial purpose.
Safe carrying value
A smaller completed haul beats a heavy route that ends before extraction.
Repeatable upgrades
Oxygen, depth, carrying, and tools should improve several future routes.
Common route mistakes
- Diving without checking restaurant inventory.
- Carrying low-value items until movement becomes unsafe.
- Adding too many menu items for current stock and staff.
- Spending upgrades on a single novelty instead of route capacity.
- Ignoring quest targets until the final dive window.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check before each dive?
Review quests, restaurant stock, tonight's menu needs, and the equipment required for one primary target.
When should I end a dive?
Return when oxygen margin, carrying weight, danger, or distance makes the current haul more valuable than another detour.
Should the restaurant menu include every available dish?
No. A shorter menu supported by stock, upgrades, and staff is easier to serve profitably.
Which upgrades help most?
Prioritize upgrades that expand oxygen, safe depth, carrying capacity, or reliable access to repeated targets.
